“Management has been very responsive and very helpful in my mom's transition from living at home. The dining hall does a fantastic job; the food quality is great, there's a good variety, and the joyful servers always know my mom by her first name. The activities she does are really good, and staff ask her so she doesn't miss out. Maintenance is right on top of things, usually within an hour. The nursing staff communicates well and picks up immediately when I call. What she's getting is very good, and I would recommend it.”

“Management is pretty responsive and follows through. They do a pretty good job of offering different activities, and we haven't had any issues with maintenance. The building is very well kept outside. My mom can be a little difficult sometimes, but the caregivers do a very good job of handling her and taking care of her, and they keep us in the loop. Overall, I think they do a pretty good job.”
“My mother has lived there for years, and with the new management it's very good. Her one activity is bingo, and she loves it and hates to miss it. Maintenance is very good and real quick to take care of anything in her room. It's a very nice facility. She started using the transportation, and they're always on time and make sure she gets to her appointments. I'm very happy with where she is. It's a very nice place, and I would recommend it.”
“I love the look of the building; it looks like a hotel, so it's really nice. Management has been forthcoming and professional. Dad seems to like the food, both the amount and the quality. They have a lot of activities. Whenever Dad has something that needs fixing, it gets fixed pretty quickly. For what they do, I'm satisfied, and I feel he's safe and comfortable here. I would definitely recommend it.”
“We really appreciate what they do, the service they provide, and the personal care for my parents. Management is very responsive, professional and informative. The food is good, the chef is great, and the staff is helpful. Housekeeping is always very pleasant and the laundry smells good. Maintenance is very responsive, and the building is gorgeous. The nursing staff answers by text or phone and gets back to you quickly. Very, very good people.”
“It's a nice place and a good place to be. The service is very good, and they do a good job dealing with all types of people. I'm still pretty self-sufficient, but they are there for assistance when I need it, and there's a button you can push for help. They offer quite a few things like happy hour, 42 games and bingo, and the staff are very respectful. I would be very happy to recommend them.”
“The management seems to be very caring, and they're professional and responsive when needed. They do pretty good with activities. My mom likes the painting, the morning exercise and the happy hour. Maintenance does a good job, and the building is in good condition and well maintained.”
“Management is very helpful; every time I've talked to anyone, I've had no issues whatsoever. The food is all very good, with a good variety. There's a lot going on, and everybody is very attentive and tries to keep residents actively engaged. Housekeeping has gotten better, and the facility seems to be in great shape. The care staff are wonderful and have done a great job. We've been very satisfied with pretty much everything, and I would tell anybody it's at least a nine.”
“It's a fine place, and I would not move. When there's a problem, management rolls up their sleeves and gets the job done. Most of the time the food is real good, and it's a lot better now. We have exercise classes, Friday excursions and a weekly happy hour. The maintenance guy gets on work orders right away. I like my two-bedroom apartment, and I feel safe here. The building looks nice and upbeat, and I don't mind bringing guests here.”
“It's a very friendly place, and I've already recommended it; a friend is moving in now. Management is excellent. They help me every time I get a scam letter, and if we have questions, we get answers. The food is very good, and the presentation of the plates is outstanding. There's always something to do, and they let a few of us make cookies for everybody in the kitchen. When my quilting group comes, they always have coffee, tea and fruit ready. I feel very safe here.”

Paying with Medicaid and other programsHow Medicaid pays for care in Texas, and other programs
How Medicaid pays for care in Texas
- STAR+PLUS Home and Community Based Services (STAR+PLUS HCBS) Waiver Program. Texas Medicaid can help pay for assisted living for people enrolled in the STAR+PLUS HCBS waiver, which helps people who would otherwise need to be in a nursing home. HHSC checks whether you need this program when you apply for Medicaid. (state page)
- Waitlist. STAR+PLUS HCBS uses an interest list. People already on Medicaid with a STAR+PLUS plan may bypass it, and nursing facility residents can use Money Follows the Person. (source)
Ask the community whether it accepts Medicaid.
